RESUMO
Previous studies on histidinol dehydrogenase from His+ revertants have shown that the frameshift mutation hisD3018 is a +1 type, resulting from inclusion of an extra cytidylate residue in messenger ribonucleic acid. Histidinol dehydrogenase from newly isolated spontaneous and N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NG)-induced intragenic revertants has been examined for amino acid replacements. The results provide additional evidence that NG can delete guanine plus cytosine base pairs from deoxyribonucleic acid. One spontaneous revertant was found to result from a +2 addition of approximately 16 nucleotide residues before the +1 parent frameshift, and another by a −4 deletion about six residues before the same. Circumstantial evidence suggests the in vivo codon assignment GAG for glutamic acid. A region of histidinol dehydrogenase highly permissive of amino acid changes encoded in the minus (−) phase is now apparent.
